Ageing Well
This theme focuses on improving health, function, and quality of life for older people – particularly those with multiple long-term conditions or frailty, including across rural and coastal communities.
Our research aims to help people live healthier, more independent lives as they grow older. We explore ways to prevent falls, improve rehabilitation and support people living with frailty and multiple long-term conditions. Working with older people, carers, families and health and care professionals, we develop practical solutions that improve quality of life and the way care is delivered across the South West and beyond.
